I was quite happy with my accomplishments. I put Betty, Pepper, Cherrie, Mocha, Latte, Jag, Jaylene, Delilah, Flapper, Daisy, Rascal, and Dusty (my sheep, goats, and cow) in a pasture with Lucy and she STILL WILL NOT STAY IN THE PASTURE! It's crazy I tell you! She still thinks that she belongs outside, I'm just afraid she'll get hit on the highway, I couldn't lose Lu-Lu Bell like that.
